Join us as the Reston Bicycle Club hosts an event featuring Lynne Tolman, president Major Taylor Association, as she presents a session on the life and history of American bicycle racer Marshall Walter "Major" Taylor. Nicknamed “Major” in his youth in Indianapolis and later known as “the Worcester Whirlwind” after his adopted hometown in Massachusetts, he was the second African-American world champion in any sport (after Canadian-born bantamweight boxer George Dixon of Boston won his title in 1891).
Lynne will also speak about the mission of the non-profit Major Taylor Association.
This event is open to RBC members only.
